First of all, let me say that I am writing this post and promoting this book because I truly hope that it will help another child/parent/family resolve “potty” issues that could actually be pretty serious if not addressed. One of the children in my house has had potty “issues” for some time. I won’t…
The Egg Scramble
So, I was hoping to post pictures about our entire Easter, this morning. But you know what? I took so many damn photos that I like, even if you don’t that it’s gonna take a couple of posts. I decided that I would just share the egg hunt the first egg hunt anyway, oh gosh,…
They smelled so good…
If you’re from central Texas, like me, then you know good and well what a Bluebonnet is. If not, I’m sorry. 😀 On our way through my home state last Thursday, I was anxious to find a spot where the kids and I could stop and take a few pictures in a field full of…
On the Fourth of the Fourth Month
And so it goes that I did not get a picture of my kids on the third but yet again, the fourth of the month. The universe must be trying to tell me we need a dog or something (since you know, no mo babies are comin’ outta this lady…). Plus I was completely distracted…
One Part Glitter, Two Parts Dirt
The too warm water runs over my hands as I scrub another dish and the ketchup remnants fall into the sink. I hear the cardinal in the crepe myrtyle across the way chirping and I see his red feathers flash as he makes his way closer to my window. I think about how I wish…
Running A Muck!
Last week I wrote about my son. The one that keeps me on my toes the most. The one that exhausts me, both in good and not-so-good ways. The one whose face is so cute that it’s hard to resist. And then the other day while in Target, this happened… On occasion we go to…
So this week’s been a little different
Sometimes things don’t always go as planned. Especially when kids and erratic weather are involved. And that’s okay. Monday, Gav had a Trike-a-thon at school and even though he kept telling me he had a tummy ache before school, he still wanted to go. He kept saying the night before, “The trike-a-thon is tomorrow, awesome…
Truly Miss Elaine-ous Monday
The entire family dressed in green on Saturday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in our own little way. Tim also made green pancakes. On Friday afternoon The B man went on about the “leprechaun” that wreaked havoc in their classroom at school. They came back to find all kinds of silly things done to the…
I made her a skirt…
During K’s last real crib nap on Saturday (yeah, the big girl bed and big girl naps do NOT go hand-in-hand so far…) I mustered up the courage to use my sewing machine again. MONTHS ago I pinned an easy skirt idea and bought the supplies and everything. But I had a few problems with my…
Not a lot
I do not have much to say today. I’m kinda keeping on the down-low, like I said I would. I even went to bed before 10 p.m. last night, which is TOTALLY unheard of most nights. And by the way, 8.5 hours of sleep is pretty amazing. For body and soul. Here’s just a few favorite…
